Chapter 281: Don’t Worry
Olivia was about to say she could manage herself, but Victor held her tighter.
“Don’t move, or I won’t be able to get up,” Victor’s voice was slightly hoarse.
Hearing his voice, Olivia felt a strange sensation in her heart and quietly let him carry her up.
As soon as she was pulled up, she immediately broke free from the man’s embrace.
“Miss… Miss Prescott, you are so good to Sophia,” Nathan couldn’t help but remark.
Seeing Olivia holding Sophia at the bottom of the pit had shocked him deeply.
He was already surprised that Olivia had ventured into the deep forest late at night for Sophia. He didn’t expect her to find Sophia in such a place before they did.
If it weren’t for her, they wouldn’t know how long it would take to find Sophia.
Olivia smiled softly, “It’s what I should do.”
Victor looked deeply at Olivia in front of him and suddenly said, “It’s not your fault.”
Olivia was taken aback, and it took her a few seconds to realize that Victor was comforting her. For a moment, she didn’t know how to respond.
“Sophia ran out because she had a fight with Emma,” Victor explained in a deep voice. “If anyone is to blame, it’s me. I knew she had a stubborn temper but didn’t stop Emma in time or keep a close watch on Sophia.”
Hearing this, Olivia’s guilt eased a bit. She pressed her lips together and thanked Victor, “Thank you.”
Victor bent down to pick up the flashlight on the ground and said seriously, “I should be the one thanking you. Thank you for finding Sophia.”
If Olivia hadn’t found Sophia first, they might not have been able to locate her in this place.
Earlier, he had only come over because he saw a light in this direction.
Olivia glanced at Sophia, who was being held by Nathan, worry filling her eyes. “I don’t know how Sophia is doing. She’s been here for so long; she must be terrified. She was crying so hard just now.”
Thinking of Sophia’s heart-wrenching cries earlier made Olivia’s heart ache.
Victor also felt heavy-hearted. “We’ll only know once we get back.”
Nathan, holding Sophia, said with concern, “It doesn’t look like she has any serious injuries, but I’m worried…”
Sophia already had some psychological issues. Going through this might leave a lasting impact and worsen her existing problems.
Victor and Olivia both understood what Nathan left unsaid, and their expressions darkened.
The group remained silent on the way back, their moods heavy.
Upon returning to the hotel, Victor informed everyone in the group that they were safe. He then called his mother and asked Nathan to pack up and check out. They took Sophia and Olivia’s children back to the city and headed straight to the hospital.
In the car, the two children looked at Sophia with worried eyes. “Mommy, will Sophia be okay?”
Olivia patted their heads and reassured them, “She’ll be fine. Don’t worry.”
The children looked up at her again with concern. “Mommy, your voice is hoarse.”
Olivia smiled without saying anything.
A hoarse voice was nothing as long as they found Sophia; nothing else mattered.
Victor sat in the front passenger seat and looked at Olivia and Sophia in the back through the rearview mirror, his eyes unreadable.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Soon, the car stopped at the hospital entrance.
Nathan got out of the car and took Sophia from Olivia’s arms, quickly carrying her into the hospital.
